Kick-off : 7:45 PM (Local)
Venue : King Power Stadium, Leicester
United are currently on 41 points from 18 games. They trail table toppers Man City by 11 points. They know they need to keep winning games.
Manchester United won 2-1 against West Brom last weekend although were eliminated from the Football League Cup in midweek. They should be confident ahead of the trip to Leicester.
On the other hand, Leicester City are on just 26 points from 18 games. They know they need to keep winning games as well.
Leicester lost last weekend to Crystal Palace and also got eliminated from the Football League Cup in midweek. It will be another sterner test for them on Saturday night.
So far Manchester United and Leicester City have played each other 125 times. Out of that United have won on 64 occasions while Leicester have won on 33 occasions, 28 other games have been a draw.
All in all it should be a good game on Saturday as both teams will give their all.
